Thread: What problems will I encounter if running OS from USB drive?

-

hello,

running xubuntu 12.04.1 cgminer (for mining bitcoin) on 8gb usb drive on computer without hd. computer used mining. "universal usb installer" used put xubuntu on usb drive.

1. disadvantages/risks face using usb drive instead of hd?

2. xubuntu system fill usb drive log files, etc.?

3. not having swap partition matter?

computer info:

500w power supply
2gb ram
radeon 6750

1) if usb2 slower internal hdd.
persistent install not secure. (full install can made secure)
persistent install not updateable. (full install updateable , upgradeable)
persistent install have max 4gb storage unless persistent partitions used. (full install limited drive size)
drive may wear out after several years if used lot.

2) depends on size of drive, persistent install fill if updated, not boot.

3) swap partition used hibernation. not use of space on small drive.
